Counter-Strike 2: I got false vac cooldown any way to fix or get rid of this? (Workarounds)

Short answer

Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Wait for the cooldown to expire, as Steam Support will not remove automated VACNet bans. Verify game files and avoid suspicious mouse movements or unusual high-kill patterns to prevent future flags.

The problem

I'm queuing up competitive Mirage by myself and I get a VAC cooldown for no reason. This has happened to me before, any way I can get rid of this?
